I BOUGHT MY 02 BUICK RENDEZVOUS IN OCT OF 05. IT HAD 53K. I JUST HIT 90K THE LARGEST PART IS HIGHWAY MILES FROM THIS PASSED YEAR WITH SEVERAL DEATHS IN MY FAMILY. TO START WITH MY PASSENGER FLOOR WOULD GET SOAKED. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE WINDOW WAS LEFT DOWN OR THE SUNROOF WAS LEAKING. I CHECKED AND THE RUBBER IS STILL INTACT AND I CAN SPRAY WATER ON THE ROOF AND NOTHING LEAKS IN. THE TRACT AROUND THE SUNROOF IS NOT WET. ONE MORNING MY ON STAR SYSTEM HAD WATER DRIPPING FROM IT BUT NO WATER WAS FELT AROUND THE SUN ROOF AND THE WINDSHIELD SITS BELOW IT. THIS HAD BEEN GOING ON SINCE I GOT THE CAR. NOW WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS EVERYTHING ON THE CAR IS FAILING. MY DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WITH THE REMOTE. THIS IS A 300 MOTOR. MY COOLANT DISAPPEARS FROM...
